Hi,
I need some advice about whether to pursue an appeal through our school for our daughter's IEP. Our private psych-ed assessment for our seven year old daughter indicated gifted with dysgraphia, with a BIG spread between verbal (148) and processing speed (92); other scores were WM 114 and PR 120. According to the assessment, we should plan for school accommodations like extra time on tests, and also get her started on keyboarding and occupational therapy. The school psych, though, thinks that only the gifted designation is needed, and the writing issues are just an example of gifted asynchronous development. We're not that keen to get an LD designation, honestly--but how do I figure out if the school psych's judgment is accurate? (She's read the report from the private psych, but hasn't met our daughter or reviewed school records.) We are starting on OT, but not until March, so we won't have more info until then.
Thanks!
